Oregon Symphony Association

The Oregon Symphony moves music forward. Our vision is bold and adventurous: to inspire audiences with exhilarating performances, present outstanding musicians in a range of styles, shine a light on contemporary issues, and represent our region as a Symphony for All.

Founded in 1896, the Oregon Symphony is the oldest orchestra on the West Coast and performs for more than 350,000 people annually. Led by Music Director David Danzmayr, we hold 100+ concerts each season at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in downtown Portland and 200+ Education & Community events throughout the Pacific Northwest, with a repertoire that ranges from our core classical series to genres like jazz, indie, hip hop, gospel, mariachi, and film music.
